The theme

- In the era of food Common Practice - satiation

It is said that modern Japan is "the time of satiety". There are countless restaurants in Tokyo, and you can choose today's dinner from Chinese, French, American, Indian, and other international dishes, and if you are hungry, you can have lunch at a convenience store in the neighborhood 24 hours a day. . The foods on the market are very rich in quality and quantity, and we are not inconvenienced in foods except for financial reasons. One of the problems that arises is what to eat and how much to eat in an era when you can eat as much as you want. This time, from the movie scheduled to be released in Shibuya, we will pick up works with the theme of "food". Lined up are comedies that focus on the problem of "obesity" because you can eat as much as you want, and documentaries that approach the problem of "genetical recombination" for the purpose of streamlining crop cultivation. On the other hand, the three sensational movements are modeled on a farmer who has achieved “pesticide-free cultivation”. Why don't you use the three books that convey "food" in a variety of ways as an opportunity to rethink your eating habits?

From June 8th, Shibuya Uplink will release a documentary "The Day the World Can't Be Eaten" that approaches the reality of genetically modified foods.
In fact, Japan is a major importer of genetically modified foods. It is the world's largest importer of corn, with an annual output of approximately 16 million tons. About 90% of them are from the United States and 88% are genetically modified varieties (2012 USDA survey). What are these corns used for? As raw materials for animal feed, processed oils and processed foods such as corn starch. In Japan, genetically modified foods are required to be labeled, but feeds are not.
In this work, we approach a secret French experiment in which rats are continuously given genetically engineered corn and pesticides for two years (= life expectancy of rats). What is the actual condition of rats that continued to take the same crop from birth to the end of their life? "Genetification is the privatization of living things, that is, the dictatorship control of food," (Director Jean-Paul Joe). What future awaits after the development of cultivation technology that swayed nature's providence in pursuit of efficiency?

From June 8th, TOHO Cinemas Shibuya will release a miracle apple, a story of a family who challenged a pesticide-free apple that was said to be "absolutely impossible".
An apple that was introduced to Europe BC and was a well-known fruit in the Roman Empire. Since the middle of the 19th century, pesticides have been introduced for the purpose of controlling pests, and people have repeatedly bred in search of sweet and delicious apples. All the apples we eat today are varieties that have been improved on the premise of using pesticides. Therefore, it has been said that it is "absolutely impossible" to grow pesticide-free apples as delicate fruits that are vulnerable to pests without pesticides.
The model for this work is Akinori Apple Farmer Akinori Kimura. Akinori worked on growing apples without pesticides, thinking of his wife, who had a skin rash due to the effects of pesticides sprayed more than ten times a year and sometimes fell asleep. The "truth" that overturns the common sense that we have found after 11 years of suffering and despair, who have made countless mistakes, faced the opposition of others, and did not give up even if they were forced to live in extreme poverty.
Today, the "miracle apple" is so popular that it sells out in a few minutes. What will the feelings for the wife who entrusted to the bright red apple spread from Aomori all over the country and tell us?
